The ceasefire in Gaza provided a desperately needed lifeline for Gaza’s children. But children have again been plunged into a cycle of deadly violence and deprivation. All parties must adhere to international humanitarian law to protect children.👇 unicef.org/press-releases…

🛑The powerful #MyanmarEarthquake left millions of children and families in fragile conditions, with limited access to safe water, healthcare and shelter. Earlier today UNICEF, with the vital support of EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺, has flown 80 tonnes of life-saving supplies to Myanmar. (1/2)

“The intensifying violence has created one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, leaving millions of children at risk." Full remarks from Catherine Russell to the United Nations Security Council on the humanitarian situation in DR Congo. ⬇️ unicef.link/3GbhirD

Sick. Thirsty. Starving. Children in the Gaza Strip are now facing the worst humanitarian crisis since the beginning of the war amid the aid blockade, relentless bombardments and forced displacement.

Despite insecurity and access challenges, UNICEF is staying and delivering for children in Darfur. But the scale of need is far greater - and access remains dangerously constrained. Statement by UNICEF Representative to Sudan Sheldon Yett unicef.link/44maDFm

With growing funding gaps and increasingly complex crises, preparedness and localization are no longer optional – they're essential. In #EHF2025 panel on unlocking supply chain potential Lucia Elmi highlighted these approaches as key to reaching more children in crises.

Great exchange between Lucia Elmi and Elke Löbel at #EHF2025. Germany's partnership matters for children in fragile contexts like Sahel, Sudan and Syria and achieves sustainable impact. Looking forward to continued strong collaboration #ForEveryChild.

Meaningful exchange between Lucia Elmi and Ina Heusgen at #EHF2025. We're grateful for Germany's principled support to reach children in the most complex crises. Discussions covered the dire situation in Gaza and joint efforts to protect women and girls in the Horn of Africa.

Explosive weapons are destroying children’s lives, from Sawsan to Taline, Maha, Mira & Mohammed. Parties to conflict must #ProtectChildrenInConflict and not use them in populated areas. States must endorse & implement the #EWIPA Declaration. 🔗 youtu.be/VW51CUuavz0

🇨🇩🇺🇳 Excellente rencontre avec Lucia Elmi Lucia Elmi Directrice des Programmes d’Urgence UNICEF au niveau global, en visite en RDC pour appuyer la réponse humanitaire & le plaidoyer, dans un contexte marqué par des coupures budgétaires sévères malgré des besoins toujours immenses.

We’re failing Gaza’s children. Seen through their eyes, our failure is a betrayal of their right to be children. History will judge this harshly. So will the children. We call for a ceasefire in Gaza, protection of children and release of all hostages.👇 unicef.org/press-releases…

On mission in eastern #DRC, Lucia Elmi visited Kigonze and Salama IDP camps. Health, nutrition, WASH, safe spaces, essential kits: UNICEF remains on the ground, but the response is weakened by increasingly limited resources. #ForEveryChild, sustainable solutions.

Today Lucia Elmi UNICEF’s Director Emergency Programmes, Jeremy Hopkins UNICEF Deputy Regional Director, Eastern & Southern Africa, John Agbor UNICEF en RDC Representative, with UNHCR Uganda + WFP Uganda teams,were at Nyakabande transit centre to assess joint #refugeeresponse efforts.

En mission à l’est de la #RDC, Lucia Elmi a visité les camps de Kigonze et Salama. Santé, nutrition, WASH, espaces sûrs, kits essentiels : l’UNICEF reste sur le terrain, mais la réponse est fragilisée par des ressources de + en + limitées. #PourChaqueEnfant, des solutions durables.

#Goma, #DRC. With Lucia Elmi, we saw signs of basic services resuming. With UNICEF en RDC’s support, schools, health centers and the hospital have reopened in Sake, Shasha and Kirotshe, and chlorination points were installed to prevent cholera. Still, needs remain immense!

“The message was loud and clear - children in Bukavu need peace.” UNICEF’s Lucia Elmi reflects on UNICEF’s response amid the ongoing conflict in eastern DR Congo and what children really need.

Famine is now a grim reality for children in Gaza Governorate, and a looming threat in Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis. There is no time to lose. Without an immediate ceasefire and full humanitarian access, famine will spread, and more children will die. unicef.link/3JKqkO4
